I found now 2 ways to work with eclipse without getting “SWTError: No more handles” on my Dell ProBook 6550b Windows 7 64 bit but none of them is really satisfying: I can start windows in “secure mode” or I can downgrade to “eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64”.

I “just” had to kill the processes: “DPAgent.exe*32” (DigitalPersona Local Agent) & “DPAgent.exe” (DigitalPersona 64-bit Helper Process) which were luckily running under my user (and not SYSTEM which might have made it impossible to kill depending on your rights). Nevertheless I don't understand how these processes can interfere with SWT handles in eclipse ....
